To assemble a large-sized back frame 23, the joint section 2311 that isclose to the very end of the first primary assembling piece 231 is firsttaken and a second primary assembling piece 232 having a correspondingwidth is selected. Afterwards, an end of the second primary assemblingpiece 232 is positioned in the recess of the joint section 2311. Andthen, means, such as screwing, fastening, or welding, is applied to joinand fix the end of the second primary assembling piece 232 to the jointsection 2311. To assemble a small-sized back frame 23, the joint section2312 that is distant from the very end of the first primary assemblingpiece 231 is first chosen and a second primary assembling piece 232having a corresponding width is selected. Afterwards, an end of thesecond primary assembling piece 232 is positioned in the recess of thejoint section 2312.

Asshown in FIG. 11, to allow of selection of the size of the back frame 23in another direction, for example the second primary assembling piece232 forms a protrusion at a corresponding location on a surface thereof,and the protrusion of the second primary assembling piece 232 isembedded in the recess the first primary assembling piece 231 at acorresponding location in order to join the first primary assemblingpiece 231 and the second primary assembling piece 232. Further, thesecond primary assembling piece 232 may form, on a surface of one endthereof, at least two protrusions that are spaced in the lengthwisedirection of the second primary assembling piece 232, such as two,three, or four protrusions.

Furthermore, as shown in FIG. 12, FIG. 12 is a schematic view showing ajoining structure of a joint section of a back frame of a flat paneldisplay device according to a tenth embodiment of the present invention.The recess of the first primary assembling piece 231 can be a recess ofa multi-stepped configuration and the second primary assembling piece232 forms, at a corresponding location, a protrusion having amulti-stepped configuration corresponding to the recess.

Further, as shown in FIG. 13, FIG. 13 is a schematic view showing ajoining structure of a joint section of a back frame of a flat paneldisplay device according to an eleventh embodiment of the presentinvention. Taking the joint section 2311 as an example, the recess ofthe first primary assembling piece 231 forms, in a bottom thereof, afirst through hole 2313, and the second primary assembling piece 232forms, at a location corresponding to the joint section 2311, a secondthrough hole 2321.

As shown in FIG. 14, FIG. 14 is a schematic view showing a joint sectionof a back frame of a flat panel display device according to a twelfthembodiment of the present invention. The recesses of the joint sections2311, 2312 of the first primary assembling piece 231 are of a circularshape. Yet, in other embodiments, those skilled in the art may arrangethe shape of the recesses to be other polygonal configurations, such astriangle.

As shown in FIG. 15, FIG. 15 is a schematic view showing joiningrealized by using different joint sections of a back frame of a flatpanel display device according to a thirteenth embodiment of the presentinvention. In another embodiment of the back frame of flat panel displaydevice according to the present invention, the joint sections 2311, 2312are recesses that extend through opposite surfaces of the first primaryassembling piece 231, whereby an end of the second primary assemblingpiece 232 is movable within the joint sections 2311, 2312. For example,after the end of the second primary assembling piece 232 is setextending beyond and joined and fixed to the joint section 2312, theportion of extension is then trimmed off so that the length of thesecond primary assembling piece 232 that serves as a primary assemblingpiece of the back frame can be adjusted and thus back frames ofdifferent sizes can be obtained.

In a practical application, the other end of the first primaryassembling piece 231 and both ends of the third primary assembling piece233 are all provided with two joint sections having a structureidentical to that of the joint sections 2311, 2312. The ends of thesecond primary assembling piece 232 and the ends of the fourth primaryassembling piece 234 may be subjected to specific designs or no designat all according to different applications. For example:

(1) In a first situation, as shown in FIG. 10, the two ends of thesecond primary assembling piece 232 and the two ends of the fourthprimary assembling piece 234 are of no specific design. In other words,the ends are of the same structure as the remaining portions. Under thiscondition, in making a join with a selected joint section 2311 (2312) atone end of the first primary assembling piece 231 (the same applicableto the other end), if an attempt is made to change the width of the backframe 23, then the length of the corresponding second primary assemblingpiece 232 and fourth primary assembling piece 234 must be selectedaccordingly. Namely, if the joint section 2311 that is close to the veryend of the first primary assembling piece 231 is selected for joining,then no trimming is applied to the second primary assembling piece 232and the fourth primary assembling piece 234 or the portion that istrimmed off is short; if the joint section 2312 that is distant from thevery end of the first primary assembling piece 231 is selected forjoining, then the second primary assembling piece 232 and the fourthprimary assembling piece 234 are trimmed and the trimmed portion beinglong or short is according to the distance that the joint section isfrom the very end of the first primary assembling piece 231 being greator small; and

(2) In a second situation, it is similar to the first situation, but asshown in FIG. 11, the second primary assembling piece 232 and the fourthprimary assembling piece 234 use different protrusions to respectivelymate the first primary assembling piece 231 and the third primaryassembling piece 233 in order to realize change of width of the backframe 23; similarly, if a joint section 2312 other than the first jointsection 2311 that is close to the very end of the first primaryassembling piece 231 is selected for joining, then before or afterjoining, excessive portions of the second primary assembling piece 232and the fourth primary assembling piece 234 may be trimmed off.

This also applicable to an embodiment of the main frame structure 27 ofthe back frame 23 that is formed by only joining two L-shaped primaryassembling pieces.
